I remember a guy on my high school swim team that wore regular swim trunks. Streamlining be damned--he wasn't wearing a Speedo!

Try not to have too much fun, MK.
I swam competitively growing up. Until about 15, then the speedo was just a little too ... clingy?

Yikes, reminds me of that hilarious scene in Meet the Parents where the poor schmuck gets stuck wearing the speedos. And ahem, speedos are a cultural joke which is why that movie scene and this photo are funny. Chicks don't actually dig them, or do they? Yuk. Bogart in speedos? I need a drink.

This picture was snapped at the exact time that that the girl on the right wishes it hadn't, while she thought she was just trying to get a quick peek, she now realized how he's able to steer so efficiently.
She seems to have be frozen in ... ...'[mad-lib anything here]'.

McCain, it is rare that women love a man in a Speedo because it is exceedingly rare that a man looks like Michael Phelps does in one. Rare, indeed. Amateurs probably shouldn't try this at home. Just backing up Just Me on that.

Maybe we should have a Wizbang Speedo contest!
I do actually train for triathalons, but can't begin to think that I can compare with Mr. Phelps in that picture. I'm 42, but, don't think I look too terrible.
I suggest that we all send in pictures of us in Speedos starting with Jay Tea.
Then Kevin.
Then Paul.
And then Mary Katharine in her finest bathing attire.
Pant.
Let's give the left something to aim for, we're supposed to be a bunch of stuffy fuddy duddies.
Though in the truest sense of being a gentleman.
Ladies first.
